The owners of this 1.4-acre estate dreamed of a home and garden combining world-class vacation amenities with everyday life, all within one of Boston’s most desirable suburban neighborhoods. The masterplan artfully fuses their complex luxury program with elaborate high-tech infrastructure. The contemporary landscape is structured and lush and nestled into context. Carefully orchestrated topography seamlessly unifies the site and its robust and healing colonies of native plants—even though half of the site was not conceived until after construction of the first half. Meticulously crafted stone walls retain crisp landforms that shape the foundation of a multi-terraced garden. Drought-resistant plantings with dazzling foliage combinations surround outdoor spaces and punctuate each season’s activities. This LEED-Gold project boasts many inviting and durable kid-friendly spaces that provide endless opportunities for an outdoor lifestyle. The elegant landscape feels comfortable and alive and continuously evolves to meet the family’s needs.
